Equipment

1 Air Fryer

Ingredients

6 large eggs
9 oz sausage meat (255g)
5 oz ground pork (140g)
½ tsp dried thyme
¼ tsp ground pepper
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
¾ cup breadcrumbs ** (55g)
2 tbsp vegetable oil
4 tbsp sweet relish (optional)
4 tbsp ketchup (optional)

Instructions

Place 4 eggs in a medium saucepan covered with cold water. Place lid on the saucepan. Boil over medium low heat for 3 minutes.
After 3 minutes, immediately drain the saucepan and fill it with cold water in the sink. Allow eggs to cool for 15 to 20 minutes. Then, carefully peel the eggs.
Combine sausage meat, ground pork, dried thyme, ground pepper, and Worcestershire sauce in a medium bowl. Mix well with a spatula. Divide into 4 portions.
Have 3 small shallow bowls ready – one for all-purpose flour, one for the remaining egg (lightly beaten), and one for breadcrumbs.
Flatten a portion of meat mixture in your palm. Roll a peeled egg in flour, then place in the middle of the meat patty. Gently shape the meat patty evenly over the egg, molding and sealing it. Place on a plate. Do the same for the remaining 3 portions of meat and peeled eggs.
Roll the meat wrapped egg in all-purpose flour, then dip in egg, and coat well in breadcrumbs. Repeat for the 3 remaining meat wrapped eggs.
Brush vegetable oil over the breading of all 4 meat wrapped eggs.
Place air fryer basket in the unit. Close the hood and set air fryer to 390⁰F (200⁰C) for 11 minutes. Press start to begin preheating.
When unit beeps, open the hood and arrange meat wrapped eggs in the air fryer basket. Close hood to let them cook.
After 5 minutes, open the hood and flip the eggs. Close the hood and continue cooking for the remaining 6 minutes.
When cooking is complete, remove Scotch Eggs and serve with sweet relish and ketchup.

Notes

** You can use any kind of plain or seasoned breadcrumbs.
